Shattered

Chapter 2

Kayla's POV

It was a boy who had stopped me from committing. He was young around my age (which I'm 13) with brown hair and hazel eyes piercing into mine with concern.
"My names Jacob I just moved here. I live in the house across the street. I noticed you in the tree when I went for a walk. Are you okay?" Jacob asked with a worried glimpse in his eyes.

Of course I'm not okay. You never ask a suicidal freak if there okay. I was in a tree with a rope tied around my neck for goodness sake.
He jumped down from the tree and helped me down too. Then he looked at my wrists.
"Oh my gosh!! Umm uhhh lets get you inside!" he said with a panic tone.
He snuck me back into my room where Mrs. Gina sat crying holding the note. Crap!! I forgot about the note.

She noticed Jacob and ran up to him and hugged him, thanking him. Then she hugged me and whispered in my ear! "Your getting such a beating tonight!"
Now I'm scared.

*Later That Night*

I had gone out for a ride on my penny board when I got a text from an unknown number it said:
"Hey I never caught your name?"
I assumed it was Jacob. He probably put my number in his phone when I was "hugging" Mrs. Gina.
"It's Kayla." I texted back.
I changed his name to Jacob😊 on my phone which might I add, the screen is completely demolished because of when I get angry.
I started to skate back "home". Once I got to the orphanage I opened and closed the solid metal doors as quietly as possible, but I guess that didn't work.
Mrs.Gina was standing right there with something in her hand.
My box.
"Why didn't you tell me about this! Your in deep trouble for making that poor boy help someone so so SO WORTHLESS!!!" She yelling in my face.
One single tear slid down my cheek. As it did she smacked me across the face hard enough to knock me down.

She kept kicking and punching till everything was numb.
She walked away finally after 15 whole minutes of torture.
I attempted to get up, but failed miserably. So I crawled to my room while the other orphans laughed at me with my bloody nose bruised up face and probably broken bones.
Once I made it to my room all I could think of doing was texting Jacob.
"Help" that's all I could text before I passed out.

Jacob's POV

I got the text from Kayla and I ran across the street to the orphanage. I remembered when we snuck I to her room and I noticed her window was open.
I looked in a saw her laying on the ground with her eyes closed. Je looked like she was in so much pain. With her bloody nose, bruised up body, she still looked so beautiful.
Her blond hair spread out around her. I walked to the front doors, took a deep breath, and rang the door bell.
Mrs. Gina answered and rolled her eyes. Rude much.
"Yes what would you like?" She asked aggressively.
"I want you to check on Kayla please she was passed out when I walked by her window. What happened?" I asked hoping that she will tell me.
"That is private information, but sure i'll check on her. Would you like to come in?" she asked impatiently.
I nodded my head as I walked inside.

As I walked down the hall I noticed all the other orphans close their doors with a horrified look on their faces.
She opened the door that had the word "Kayla" on the the top of it.
We walked in and I didn't see Kayla where she was when I looked into her window.
I looked at her nightstand and noticed the lamp shaking.
All of a sudden the lamp was yanked off the nightstand and shattered all over the floor.
I walked over to the lamp an see....
